This is a new, digitally enhanced reprint of the score originally published in 1908 by A. Durand et Fils, Paris. The "Petite Suite" was originally composed by Debussy in 1889 for piano, four-hands. By the time an orchestral version was sought in 1907, the composer was too busy with numerous other commissions to orchestrate his youthful work and entrusted the job to the conductor and composer Henri Busser. This is the orchestral version most widely performed and recorded today.

Pavane pour une Infante défunte - Orchestra version: Study score Review

Ravel composed the original piano version of this piece in 1899 after resuming his studies at the Paris Conservatory. It was published the next year and became an overnight success. Despite some self-criticism of his youthful work for being "poor in form", Ravel thought well enough of it to prepare an orchestral version in late 1910, which was given its premiere under the baton of Henry Wood at the Manchester Gentlemen's Concerts on 27 February 1911. This newly-engraved critical edition will be appreciated by Ravel fans, students, and conductors everywhere.
